What went wrong at Old Trafford for Erik ten Hag, who was fired by Manchester United?

 During his tenure at Manchester United, Erik ten Hag made audacious attempts to position himself as the second-most successful manager in English football. Ultimately, no one was paying attention. The depressing presentations continued. It was obvious that he would be fired.

Although many of United's fans were unable to ignore the evidence of their own eyes, they shown amazing patience and remained steadfast in their belief in his sermons about process and progress. A fragmented squad that seems to be constantly descending into new depths.

Even after their worst Premier League performance and being pampered in the transfer market, Ten Hag was in his third season when the axe dropped, but this team was growing worse. In addition to being signed by him, four of his top five backs had previously played for him.

The midfield was unable to cover wide-open spaces, the attack featured a press so haphazard that it made a joke of the term, and they were frantic in defense, falling deep to protect their lack of pace. Eventually, his cries for more time were in vain.

There were supporters of Ten Hag in the United. His disobedience impressed many. Two teenage goal scorers and a tactically sound team effort made the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City an emotional high for all those involved.

The summer was formed by that swallow, but by October it had lost its shine. Any realistic evaluation of Ten Hag's tenure would have to acknowledge that a single day at Wembley does not completely erase the humiliation of Europe and the Premier League's lag.



With his head held high, Ten Hag will depart with the conviction that he has led United to greater success. While some supporters may be sympathetic due to his strong defense of his reign, which highlights injuries and youth growth, others will be concerned about what lies ahead.
